The ear is an important organ through which sound passes. Waterproof earplugs are used to prevent water from entering the ear canal during swimming and diving. Earplugs should be worn when swimming, especially if you have long hair or wear glasses, as these can easily enter the ears.
After swimming, it is recommended to dry the ears completely to avoid moisture accumulation in the ear canal and prevent bacteria growth. If water enters the ears and is not dried in time, it may cause ear diseases such as swimmer's ear or otitis externa.
When choosing silicone earplugs for swimming and diving, we must consider their waterproof performance and comfortability. Silicone plugs with good waterproof performance can effectively prevent water from entering the ears and thus reduce discomfort caused by water pressure. Soft silicone plugs with good comfortability can ensure that users will not feel uncomfortable when using them for a long time.It is hard to choose a good pair of silicone earplugs at first glance. The following will introduce the characteristics of different brands of silicone earplugs to help you choose better.
The silicone earplug that has been popular for many years is still the brand of 3M and its products are very reliable. At present, there are two types in the market: one is the old type of silicone earplug (ear plug), which is made from polyurethane material and does not have a good fit; another is the new type of silicone earplug (ear plug), which uses a new material called hydrophilic polyester elastomer (silicone). This material has better waterproof performance because it has excellent hydrophilic properties, but it also has some disadvantages: it will be easy to fall off after getting wet due to its poor adhesion; it also has a certain degree of odor after being produced for a long time.
The Eastragon’s silicone earplug is more popular because it has good waterproof performance, and it has better noise reduction performance than the above two types because it uses low-frequency sound absorption materials.
